Know before you buy
The box contains 10 individual mechanical switches from the Cherry MX2A series. It is designed as a tactile sampler, allowing you to physically test the different actuation forces and sound profiles before committing to a full set for your keyboard.
These switches are compatible with any keyboard that supports MX-style, hot-swappable sockets. If your keyboard is soldered, you will not be able to use these switches without desoldering your existing board.
Check your keyboard's manual or product page for 'hot-swappable' functionality. If your keyboard is hot-swappable, you can pull the current switches out and push these new ones in without needing a soldering iron.
While you can technically use them, this box is intended as a testing kit rather than a bulk pack. You would need to purchase additional switches separately to fill out a standard-sized keyboard.
Yes, these switches feature the standard cross-shaped stem found on almost all Cherry MX-style switches. They are compatible with the vast majority of aftermarket keycap sets.
